BlackSheep General Store

Cute alert! Cute alert! New business alert! New business alert!
I am obsessed with general stores. It seems like every time I discover one somewhere in the country I want to know everything about it. I love them so much, that I used to dream of owning one… but instead I can just stop in here to fulfill my fantasy.
This gem of a store is sure to be a North Shore keeper. It’s extremely unique and has a little something for everyone. From candy to soaps to baby gifts, books to clocks to pillows to flasks to t-​shirts. You will find something for everyone here — I promise! That’s right, I said the *P* word.
Step inside and you’ll feel like you escaped to a time when the living was easy. A getaway to that one-​stop shop (minus the drugs you’ll find across the street at the local pharmacy). Think Baby Boom when you stop in. Though I wish the store was even more packed with merchandise, I’m sure they are testing their inventory to see what the popular items will be.
Hmmm…I’m thinking a soda fountain in the back. Any thoughts?
Sweet shop owner. I can’t wait to come back :-)

Baa, Baa Black Sheep.
Have you any gifts?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
One store full;
One for a housewarming,
And one to celebrate a birthday,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. You know you have little ones at home when you pass by a new store and can’t get a nursery rhyme out of your head.
Yes, there’s a new store in Glencoe… whoo hoo! I haven’t done much shopping in town since Shirise closed their doors earlier this year (RIP), but it’s fabulous to have a store where you can quickly pop in for a housewarming gift or just a little something for visiting a new baby. In the few weeks BlackSheep has been open I’ve stopped in twice to purchase:
a) a lovely candle for the host of dinner during the jewish holidays
b) a lovey for a new baby visit (the «real» gift wasn’t ready quite yet)
And of course I can’t forget the few times my pre-​schooler has dragged me in there for «just a few pieces of candy.» Based on the fabulous candy display they have set up I have a feeling we’ll be spending lots of time (and $) at BlackSheep.
Welcome to the hood BlackSheep!
